Anyone see the post from USAC?? They had second and third opinions and tests done on 4 tires that the samples came back bad in Florida, and guess what they passed. Where do we go from here? Lucas Oil stopped using Blue Ridge a few years back because the same thing happened. They send theirs to a rubber lab in Akron, but everyone else uses Blue Ridge because they are much cheaper. Well you get what you pay for it looks like
Yep, what a mess
Is it the lab or the Purple Mafias "benchmarks"?
I don't even know where to stand with this entire situation. I've been following it for a little while now and it seems like a complete (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)show
I still beleive my theory RUBBER TRANSFERS INTO THE TIRES.You get a bunch of cars competing there is no doubt treated tires are there and bad rubber on the track.I would make all top 5 cars be tested and for sure cut a plug out of the track and have it checked...
The only real way to ever make it fair is to make anything fair game. Open the tires up completely. Run anything you're willing to bolt on.
Otherwise, you'll always have the possibility of bad results,
They tested the top 4 finishers here and they all failedQuote:

Blue ridge announces race results a week after the checkered falls…….it’s their specialty.
